Legwold conversed with Thomas, the recipient of the Broncos 2015 exclusive rights franchise tag, in Los Angeles for a Call of Duty charity event recently, at which point Thomas told him he would not be attending at Duke.

The Broncos kick off their offseason program on April 13th. When asked by Legwold whether he'll be in attendance then, Thomas said he would "pass on that too", which is not surprising, since he's under no obligation to sign his exclusive rights franchise tag tender until the July 15th deadline.

Thomas and the team have until the deadline to either workout a multi-year extension, or sign and play out 2015 under the franchise tag. Holding out is essentially the only leverage franchise tagged players have towards getting a long-term deal done.

Thomas has not yet signed his one-year $12.823M franchise tender (obviously). Nevertheless, he also confirmed to Legwold that he has been working out in Atlanta this offseason and said he “is getting his body right”, while still “working through a little soreness in (my) Achilles.”

Thomas said the injury is not debilitating, as he can still run routes and is looking forward to a potential long-term deal from the Broncos, telling Legwold “I want it to,” (be done).

Thomas, who is the Broncos single-season receiving yardage record-holder, with 1,640 receiving yards amassed in 2014, has made a tremendous impact on the franchise since being drafted No. 22 overall in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft.

In his five-year career with the Broncos, Thomas has amassed 351 receptions for 5,317 yards and 41 touchdowns and is already 9th all-time in Broncos history in receiving yardage.

While the Broncos reportedly have designs on making second-year receiver Cody Latimer a greater part of their offensive game-plan on a weekly basis, Thomas, along with the productive Emmanuel Sanders, will still be expected to be a key component of the Broncos passing game in 2015.
